I like Poetry on Occasion

I read a poem the other day and I really liked it.  I'm just going to post the first half of it on here because it's the part that I particularly liked.  I love how things can have different meanings for different people.  The second part of this poem has such a different meaning than what I take out of the first part.  It's great how that works.


Just the Same   By Diana Lynn Lacey

Sometimes -
God sends rain
Straight from the sky
To nourish the young flower
and it grows.

Sometimes -
God sends rain from the sky
To the mountaintops,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until it reaches the flower
and it grows, just the same.
